I have removed Trend Micro from my computer and all starup delays have disappeared

After using Trend Micro for 17 years I have removed it from my current windows 10 PC. All the extensive start up and running delays have disappeared, media player starts immediately, explorers don't hang. Must have been fighting this for years and it was Trend Micro.

I am using Windows Defender as my virus protection despite all the ho-hum from the web and third party suppliers.

You may be able to tell I am very disappointed with Trend Micro having been a loyal user for all those years.
